” Winds can shape landforms, via a variety of aeolian processes such as the formation of fertile soils, such as loess, and by erosion. Dust from large deserts can be moved great distances from its source region by the prevailing winds; winds that are accelerated by rough topography and associated with dust outbreaks have been assigned regional names in various parts of the world because of their significant effects on those regions. Wind also affects the spread of wildfires. Winds can disperse seeds from various plants, enabling the survival and dispersal of those plant species, as well as flying insect populations. When combined with cold temperatures, wind has a negative impact on livestock. Wind affects animals’ food stores, as well as their hunting and defensive strategies.”

This are just some sketches that I did recently, but I’m still working on it. Of course, this pictures are not retouched and they are not the best of the series, I’m still working on the selection, etc.

I’m still shooting this, I have around 30 more models in Madrid and some more at my way back in NY. My idea is to work on this series during a year (in fact, if you are reading this and you live in NY or Madrid and you want to participate, I invite you to write me to arrange a photo shoot)

I think I don’t need words to explain the project, the images speak by themselves or better said, the models speak by themselves.

I have to say that I’m absolutely grateful with the people who posed for me, not only for this fact, but also for sharing with me some of their thoughts and feelings. This project is being one of the most interesting and exciting ones of all that I’ve ever done, because it is very humane, real and direct. For me this is pure portraiture: humans glances in front of human eyes.

I did this collaboration with my good friend and excellent writer Julio Teruel, it was for the photo magazine DSLR Magazine. I only had 4 hours for the entire session, the stylist failed the team at the last moment and I almost didn´t find the male models , but even with all these difficulties I feel the result is mysterious and interesting, I hope you enjoy it.

LOOK AT ME! (Texto original en español más abajo)

If you are bothered by my image, my presence, my body, it is you who must change your way of looking. It is you and your prejudices who undress me and turn me into the object of censorship. You are voyeurs because you don’t know how to be spectators. So learn, and then…. look at me.

It is not my body. It is your doctrine. It is not the clothes that slip off my snow-white skin, it’s your posture and your shame. Look at me. It is not me. I reflect light and have nowhere to hide. It is you, with your dark suits and sterile hairdos and stealthy pupils. It is you who turn my honesty into crime, into a kind of temptation that you deny yourselves, heaven forbid that you may fall into it, that you follow my example and disrobe of those cotton armors.

There is nothing more innocent and fragile than a naked body. There is nothing more guilty and stone-hard than a dogmatic rejection. You turn your heads, you make up conversation to quiet the voices that can only be heard inside your corrupt heads; you bet the money you do not have in card games you have not mastered, only to feel at ease among those of your own kind. You do all within your power not to see me without your bias, your fears, and your scruples. Look at me.

I am a naked woman in front of you, who are so modern and so not contemporary. You do not know how to react to a pair of nipples, a pubis, some fleshy lips, to my silhouette, spilled out onto an unvarnished wooden floor. Later you will masturbate to a screen, or protected by a piece of glass, or alone with thoughts of that which you cannot do or say. And I, who do not hide, you ostracize me. Only because I do not believe in double-standards or act scared of what I am. Look at me. A woman in a hostile environment. An environment that is hostile because you want it to be so; because it is your choice; because you are not capable of scaring away the discomfort of simply looking, without ostentation or lust.

You become voyeurs because you don’t know how to be spectators; because you will never be protagonists, only shadows, vampires scared of the light trapped by my naked body. Even while longing for my blood, for the color of my mouth. Look at me.

When my good friend Michaela was pregnant I saw her and I knew I had to do a photo shoot with her.
I was looking for something elegant and simple. I had clear in my mind that I wanted something very typical and classic, but not in the way of the pregnancy magazines photography style, but more like the covers of magazines with famous models or actresses pregnant like Demi Moore, Cindy Crawford… in Vogue, Vanity Fair… I was looking for different ideas and locations when I saw this pink wall in my parents in law´s apartment and I knew it was going to be perfect for her. I really like portraits where the subject and background have even tones and colors, and in this case I love it!

As usual, I counted with the incredible talent of Carolina Restrepo, who did not only the natural and beautiful make up and hair of this series but also the beautiful body painting that you will see on the last picture.

Working with Michalea was really cool, because having a friend posing for you in a matter as important as pregnancy is, always produce a special connection between them and the camera (lets say than the non professionals models take it very seriously because they really want to register that special moment) and I love that. Michaela also surprised me for her talent posing, something that is not as easier as it looks, and not common among regular people. Thank you very much Michaela!

German soprano Katharina Hagopian has been praised by national and international press for her “hauntingly beautiful colors”, “ethereal top voice” and “differentiated and deep portrayals” of major operatic roles. Her most recent performance as Alcina was received enthusiastically by the press: “Her voice full of heat as the sorceress Alcina, the soprano Katharina Hagopian was sometimes poignantly needy and sometimes a funny caricature of rage” (The New York Times), “With her warm soprano, Katharina Hagopian interprets wonderfully the sorceress’s sufferings and presents her anger in a truly dramatic manner” (Online Music Magazine), her “pure tone and vocal ripeness meets erotic flair” (Grenzecho), and “her phenomenal performance balances heart-warming singing with stage presence, especially in her sensational interpretation of the aria ‘Ombre Pallide'” (Aachener Zeitung). She has performed as soloist in recitals including Schumannfest Düsseldorf, Carnegie Hall, Philharmonie Essen, Philharmonic Hall Ljubljana and International Festivals for Contemporary Music in Germany and Belgium. Ms Hagopian has been featured in radio and CD recordings, and is the 1st Prize Winner of the European Art-Song-Competition “Euriade Vocal Concours Kerkrade” (Netherlands), as well as 2nd Prize Winner of the competition “Ton und Erklärung”, Preis der deutschen Wirtschaft (Germany).

Katharina is not only a talented opera singer but a great person who did my job not only super easy but also very pleasant. I ‘m sure in her portraits you will feel something more than just a beautiful face. If you open your eyes, you’ll see how comfortable she is in front of a camera, how she seduces it. That is something difficult to find in people that are not models, because it requires a strong personality. Something that she had in combination with a good proportion of cheery personality.

I hope you liked the result of this first portrait of her, because there are coming more soon!

If you want to hear her singing you can find her videos at Katharina Hagopian’s webpage (videos), but if you feel lazy but curious you can play this (she is the lady with the snake dress):
